Nora - I'm so sorry for your loss.
I also love Fairytale of New York. Must bring in my cd to dl again.
Went to the doctor - I've gained ALL the weight back. At least my blood pressure was okay. Keep your fingers crossed that my blood sugar is okay. But my guess is that it will be bad.
Nora, do what you need to. Whether that involves crying or not crying. Or crying later.
Susan, hope all turns out well with Annabel. Keep us posted.
I lost 30 lbs two years ago and did a good job off keeping it off until I had my surgery last year. I have gained back 19 lbs, due to not skating and general consumption of many sugary things. Bleagh. I am determined to lose it again, as I feel better when I am lighter on my feet.

Have you started skating again?
I start next week! Yahoo!
The nurse said not to worry unless her fever goes over 102, lasts more than three days, or she starts complaining about her ears--just keep her hydrated and use ibuprofen or tylenol to keep the fever under control. Garden-variety virus, IOW. It still amazes me how relatively healthy a small child with a temperature above 100 can be. I could probably count on one hand the times I've had that bad of a fever in the past decade, and I was miserable in every case and barely missed hospitalization in the worst of the lot. Annabel is sitting on the couch with me watching Max & Ruby, and she doesn't seem quite clear on why she's not at school and I'm not at work.

This is probably first-time-parenting-know-nothing crap for me, but if Emeline has a cough or a sniffle I whip out the thermometer, just to be sure. Because she, too, has had boiling hot fevers and still been jumping around and lively as though everything was just skip-dandy.
I can usually deal with a fever of 100-102 myself without being too dragged out, but...with kids it's impossible to tell. Seriously.
Oh, to be that superhuman again.
I'm listening to "Fairytale of New York" right now, AIFG!

ND, are you around? Could you hop onto AIM if so?
